The movie theater wasn't far away, just a twenty-minute walk. They bought three servings of popcorn and three bottles of soda at the entrance and then headed inside the theater.
There were two blockbuster movies playing at the moment, one a comedy and the other a zombie flick. Shen Mianmian wanted to watch the comedy, while Lu Siyuan was keen on the zombie movie, and Xiaocui said she didn't mind either way.
In the end, they played rock-paper-scissors, and Lu Siyuan won, so the three of them ended up watching the zombie movie.
As soon as they entered the hall and the lights went out, Xiaocui clung to Shen Mianmian, scared stiff. Seeing her so nervous, Shen Mianmian was a bit exasperated, as Xiaocui was already terrified before the movie had even started; she would probably have nightmares after watching it.
She had wanted to watch a comedy considering Xiaocui's fear, but there was no reasoning with Lu Siyuan's reckless courage.
